SEEDINGNOW UNDER WAY
At Grand Bernd on. Tuesday farm-
ers were ,busy getting in the speing
crop, while on surrounding farms in
than neighbourhood , ploughing was
also started this week. At Londesbono
Mr, Ab. Radford was on the land on
Monday and seeding operations are
now general in this part of the coun-
try. Continued wet weather has re-
tarded the usual early spring seed-
ing almost three weeks in compari-
son with last year. In 1938 the
majority of farmers had finished
seeding by April 15th.,
While talking weather and farm-
ing the other night with Mr. William
Ball of the Huron Road he informed
us that 35 years ago on the 13th. of
April snowbanks four feet high were
quite general around these parts. He
remembers this very distinctly far it
was on that day that he moved to
his farm on the Huron Road. At
that time the roads were net plough-
ed out and at one plate on the Base
Line the snow was level with the
fence posts in the "cuts." He hast-
ened to add however that there were
places where the road was bare.
"Late seeding isn't so serious," he
said, 'it is the 'weather (following
that counts," and most farmers will
agree with that statement, although
most of them are anxious to get
seeding completed.

headlight out is considered one of
the greatest menacee n Spring motor-
ing.: Police everywhere areissuing
reports that such carelessness . must
be etoppedf ---• in the interests of
greater safety.

motorists who wish to avoid fines
